INDIA’S BEAUTY AMBASSADOR – SHAHNAZ HUSAIN

To her exclusively goes the credit of bringing out the therapeutic value of herbs from the mists of antiquity and legend, combining them with scientific research and practice. Shahnaz Husain has done so much for her country’s image abroad that she truly deserves the sobriquet of India’s Beauty Ambassador– Washington Post   What inspired you to become an entrepreneur and what is your long term vision? Translating my dreams and ideas into reality inspired me to become an entrepreneur. During my training in London, I came across instances of damage caused by chemical treatments and products. I was determined to find a natural alternative. I decided to evolve treatments that are safe and without risks. My idea was to provide herbal beauty care, based on the principle of “care and cure.” I knew that I must have the freedom to implement my ideas and this can only be done in one’s own enterprise. An entrepreneur needs a vision, in order to make dreams a reality. I have promoted Brand India and Ayurveda internationally, with a crusader’s zeal and succeeded in putting India on the world beauty map.   Who has been the greatest influence in your life and why? My father has been the greatest influence and inspiration in my life. I come from a conservative family, but I was fortunate to have a broadminded, Oxford-educated father, Chief Justice N.U. Beg, who put me through schooling in an Irish convent and instilled in me a love of poetry and English literature. He also encouraged the right combination of traditional values and progressive ideas and I learnt to love and respect the rich heritage of India. My father inspired me to follow my dreams.   You became a Case Study and then a Subject for Harvard Business School. Tell us about it. I was invited to speak at Harvard Business School on how I established an international brand without commercial advertising, becoming a Harvard Case Study on Brand Creation. Now I am a Subject in Harvard for “Emerging Markets” in recognition of the international market created by me for Indian Ayurvedic beauty care. The Quote by Harvard Professor Geoffrey Jones, Professor of Business History, mentions the reason why they chose me. He says, “We felt compelled to include Shahnaz Husain in Harvard Business School’s Creating Emerging Markets project, both because of her entrepreneurial role in creating India’s natural beauty market and her strong belief in the importance of corporate social responsibility.”   How was your recent visit to London and the Ayurveda Conference? London is like a second home for me. We have established brand loyalty in the U.K and our products have sold at prestigious locations, including Harrods and Selfridges. Our success and goodwill continues to generate an increasing demand for our products. The High Commission of India in the U.K. also organized a Conference on “Ayurveda – a Power for Health & Beauty” at India House. I was invited as “Special Guest.” I spoke on Ayurveda and said that the western world is fighting with its back to the wall. With the dangerous side-effects of chemicals, they have no option but to turn to Ayurveda and India. The High Commissioner of India, Ruchi Ghanashyam, spoke about my contribution in popularising Ayurveda. Indeed, I believe that India must and will lead the entire world into the next century with the plant power of Ayurveda.   Your products have sold at international stores in London. Tell us about it. Shahnaz Herbal is the only Indian herbal cosmetic company that has sold at leading international stores, like Harrods and Selfridges in London, Galeries Lafayette in Paris, Bloomingdales in New York, La Rinascente in Milan, El Corte Inglis in Madrid and the Seibu chain in Japan. In fact, when there was an announcement of free consultation by me at the start of sales of my products at Lloyds Pharmacy, Selfridges, all the products were sold out before the inauguration! Within two weeks of the opening at Selfridges, the Shahnaz products posted record breaking sales, touching ₤1000 per day. In fact, Shahnaz Husain range touched record breaking sales again at Selfridges where a single customer bought products worth ₤4,334 in a single transaction.   You have received the Success Award and the Padma Shri. What about other prestigious awards? Yes, I became the first woman in 107 years to receive the “World’s Greatest Woman Entrepreneur Award” from Success, the New York based business magazine and was also honoured with the Padma Shri Award. Recently, I received two prestigious awards in the British Parliament for “Pioneering Ayurveda Worldwide” and the “Ayurveda Excellence” award.   What is your opinion about Artificial Intelligence? Artificial Intelligence is ideal for us, as our treatments are customized and prescribed. My experience has been in Ayurvedic beauty care. Ayurveda may be an ancient system, but it is relevant to the modern world. Today, we can combine Ayurvedic Inheritance with Artificial Intelligence. We can prepare a data base and make an online program, taking individual details into account, like country, climate, skin tone and texture, allergies, blood picture, haemoglobin, past and current treatments, etc. The customer can refer to an Online Form and fill in the details. Thus, with the help of Artificial Intelligence, we can formulate a custom-made product for each individual, while the customer finds a personal skin or hair profile and buys a personalized product online. In a world dominated by Artificial Intelligence, Ayurvedic Inheritance is India’s gift to the world.   How is your brand positioned in the Indian cosmetic market? Tell us about your product innovations. The Shahnaz Husain brand is positioned as the leader in the premium segment of Ayurvedic beauty care. We have evolved over 375 organic formulations for beauty and health care, using 1500 different plant ingredients, essential oils, even precious metals and gems. We have launched some revolutionary products, which include the famed Diamond Collection, Plant Stem Cells, the Flower Botanic ranges, as well as the Chemoline range for cancer patients, to

Bedazzled by the StyleDiva!

Beauty and the Best Magazine was in conversation with Meenakshi Dutt, an icon of the glamour industry and a beacon of inspiration for many aspiring make-up artistes. She has broken the glass ceiling in unimaginable ways and has styled herself into a persona that begets respect in the field of this career path. She believes staying positive and dreaming big is essential to create the life of your dreams. What business are you into? Our forte is Makeup and hairstyling. We aim to teach the craft to new people who have dreams in their eyes and talent in their fingers. The glamour world thrives on new styles and looks and we update our skills regularly to create novel looks. The more Avant garde the better. Creating global trends in desi environs is our style statement.   Who has inspired you the most? People who have the determination to win and move ahead in life are my source of inspiration. It is a trait I admire, not a person as such. There are many who have lit fires within my consciousness. Shehnaz Hussain is a feisty entrepreneur in my industry who has shown the way forward.   If not this which profession would you choose? I was always someone who has been attracted to creativity. The Plan B of my life would have been being an actress or dancer. In the early phase of life, the idea of being the cabin crew in an international airline had caught my fancy. Makeup was the other choice I had in mind and with time it took the front seat. Since then there has been no turning back. I would also like to advise young people to have more than one career choice in mind. Knowledge is the key. Learn everything about your trade and keep yourself updated. Do what you love and works best for you.   What are the challenges that you faced? The field I have chosen is still in a nascent phase. There are a plethora of challenges that you need to face when you are in the throes of establishing yourself as a makeup artist. The bridal market is another huge challenge that you have to conquer. The new crop of makeup artistes are more tech savvy and have garnered huge exposure. It is a roller coaster ride that keeps any professional on her toes. It is fun and exhilarating at the same time.   What differentiates you from others? The Meenakshi Dutt Makeovers team has the zeal and the passion to follow the latest trends in makeup and hairstyling. The softest look to the loudest makeup can be nailed with ease at our premises. The looks we specialize are Arabic, Cut crease and sequin eyes. The latest trends and classic makeup are both equally liked by our patrons. Our capability to add creativity and uniqueness to our work is our academy’s hallmark.   How do you keep your clients happy? Clients always like a personal touch and connection when they visit us. The key to customer delight is understanding their needs and requirements and add our suggestions to the mix to help them reach a solution. The end result is always an enhanced look. We have so many happy clients who endorse us to their friends and family too. Our reputation is growing.   The New Face with Exciting Ideas Shivangi Dutt Heir to an icon of the Indian makeup industry, harboring some prolific ideas for herself and their brand, and with a dream to transform the current makeup trends, ShivangiDutt is the new face of the famed makeup brand MDM Makeovers and the able daughter of ace makeup artist. MeenakshiDutt, Shivangi recently completed her university education in the UK, raked up an A1 grade in her makeup and hairstyling degree, and has now come to India to pursue her career. The Beauty and the Best team got in touch with her to pen down her visions for the Indian market, the excerpts of which are here.   What is your style file? My style file is all about myself and what my mood is like at a particular moment. Even in my work, I like to replicate that idea by providing a makeover depending on the audience and the ambiance. Not all situations can have the same makeup. The art has to be different for a grungy and cute setting.   How’s your work shaping up? Right now, I am focusing on mainly clientele-based work. I have hardly been in India for 2-3 months now and really haven’t had the opportunity to explore the other areas of makeup. But soon enough, I would like to discover more as the potential available in the makeup industry is so vast.   Tell us about your professional training in your field of work? During my time at the university, I have worked with multiple professional photographers and their shoots. I was also a part of the makeup team of the Graduate Fashion Week in London where we worked side by side with L’Oréal. Then I interned at a UK-based magazine called the Beauty Papers and now I am here working for MDM Makeovers. Your mother is a legend in the makeup industry, do you feel you can match up to her success Mom is an inspiration to everyone, isn’t she? She started at a different time and I have always seen her work very hard. I hope to give the same amount of dedication to my work and wish to reach a level of success that will satisfy me.   Are you planning to make a mark in the Bollywood industry as a makeup artist? Stepping into Bollywood as a makeup artist will be really exciting. It is not about looking good there. You create stories with makeup, bring fiction to life, and that is something I look forward to doing.   What are your views on the Indian makeup industry? Right now, I feel the Indian makeup industry is
